That keyboard you're typing on is connected to a machine that lets you accomplish tasks in a few minutes that previously could take hours, days, or weeks—hell, even tasks that were impossible in a pre-PC world. But between all that typing, mousing, sitting, and staring, your arms, back, eyes, and body take a beating. Our question? Have you ever experienced computer-related pain or repetitive strain injury (RSI)?

It's one of those things I suspect almost everyone who uses a computer regularly has experienced at one point or another, but I wonder if it's becoming more and more common for people to experience pain and just push through it. "Push through" is a misleading phrase, though. "Grin and bear it" is probably more accurate. The problem is that it's not something you can overcome without addressing it, and sometimes changing the way you work and consumer entertainment. And who wants to do that?
